Sarah secures NHMRC funding to continue her Catalase / Peroxisomal research

Congratulations to Dr Sarah Withey on receiving $781,640 in the recent round of NHMRC grants. The funding will allow her to continue her research into a potential therapy for A-T using mini brain and liver organoids.

Using brain and liver organoids (tiny, three-dimensional organ avatars, made from the cells of patients living with A-T) researchers have discovered deficiency of a key protein involved in protecting DNA from damage.

This grant will support Sarah and her team at the AIBN to test if a modified therapeutic can repair the function to this protein, which could lead to improvement in some of the life limiting symptoms of A-T.
